Thank you Jane!
Best snack mix I’ve had in a while
This recipe is so good. 6 Stars!! My large family of six kids can get so rowdy, so this weekend we got a dumpster rental and sent dad and the kids out to the yard for some deep cleaning. I made a ton of this treat for them when they finished. They loved it, and I loved that they all fell asleep in minutes that night. A good treat is the best incentive.
Loved the recipe. We are ones who like to add to another. We also added (no measuring needed for these. Just go by what you like) spicy and regular Cheese Its, cashews, and tear the bacon up into pieces and add it also! AMAZING
